Rustic Art

I've always loved photography and have been gradually incorporating it into my shop offerings. I have a ton of photos on file from floral, landscape and our trip to France.

Ranunculus - Paris Flower Market

It's been exciting to experiment with these photos in photoshop - adding effects and textures.

Red Market Pear

A collection of my photos have been professionally printed on canvas and then I mount them on wood and a frame we make in our shop.

Faded Pink Rose

Stained, painted and distressed, they are a great addition to your farmhouse decor.

Charolais Cow, France

French Cottage - Semur-en-Auxois

They are currently featured in a 5x5 canvas size with a 7 1/2" square frame.  Besides the printing (in the US), these are handmade by us in the US in our NY studio :) Discounts for multiples will apply!
Find them on our website HERE or Etsy shop HERE.

The Louvre - Paris, France

Warning! this post may give you spring fever...

Being in retail, we are forced to think way ahead when it comes to designing products for the upcoming seasons/holidays. I am horrible at working on Christmas designs in the summer months, even the early fall months. However, I have no problem at all working on spring/summer items in the winter!

I agree the short days, snow, cold and ice we are buried under make it difficult to be motivated to do much.  But you do have to go to the market at least! So while you are there, pick up a small bouquet of flowers for yourself.  A perfect fix for anyone suffering from the winter blues.  You will think of spring every time you look at them!

After shoveling some heavy slush, snow and ice yesterday and losing feeling in my fingers, I couldn't wait to head into the studio and work on some new floral designs. You can find these arrangements in my Etsy Shoppe. 

Preserved roses, boxwood greens, hydrangeas and berries.

 a few of my favorite things...

So even if you can't get to the market, I hope this post brought you thoughts of spring.
It will be here before you know it!

New in the shop this week...

shop update...new for fall

We have just loaded our website and etsy shop with some new products for fall.

Lots of new preserved florals in these vintage style zinc cups with great patina.

So excited about these new photo/art pieces we have added to our line!
Showcasing 3 of our loves:
art
photography
woodwork

and we have added some new tray styles to our collection. So much fun to create little vignettes in these. I am working on some to show you how you can use them for each season and will share them here soon!

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall weather!!!

Festival this weekend

We've been working like crazy creating for the Maritime Festival this weekend in Greenport, NY.  If you're a local - come on by! Make it part of your apple picking, wine tasting weekend. Hoping for good weather!

We will have lots of our new rustic photo art frames.  So excited about these!

 and preserved boxwood and florals...

and of course a selection of our rustic trays and boxes!

Hope to see you there!!

New in shop...travel photos

I have been wanting to offer these in the shop for a while now.  As I go through the 1,500 plus photos we took in France, there are so many I would like to share.  I chose a few to get started and we are offering them in our Etsy shop and on our website in some really cool barnwood frames. I will also carry them without the frames and will be getting more frames in additional colors as well. These have been slightly altered digitally with a little texture added.

Hope you like them as much as we do :)

Shop Update and Local Holiday Events

Just a little update on what has been going on over here in our studio.  Some of you have noticed that our inventory is changing - to the majority being all handmade by us except for a few lines that we love such as gorgeous ribbons (I have a bit of an obsession!). So, since that is the case - you will find that (especially this time of year), not too many new product lines are added since we are just keeping up with the orders from our current listings. Most of our items are made to order. Although we try to get ahead of ourselves with some ready to go stock.

Besides the website and busy little Etsy shop, we are also selling our products in 3 stores on Long Island!! And each of them are very different which allows me to design a unique product for each.  If you are a follower of our Facebook Business Page, you can find pics of the items we make for the different shops. Some of these products are exclusive to those stores due to design collaborations  which are so fun - when creative minds get together!  So you may just have to visit them if you see something you like. It will be worth your trip!

So let me introduce them to you.

This beautiful shop features several local artisans including the very talented owners!

Here is a little sampling of some of the work I have done for this shop.

Natural Christmas Decor

"french" tote hand painted

Added my touch to a 1940's sideboard from the shop.

 

See more of The White Weathered Barn on Facebook Here. You will find pics of the owners' gorgeous creations such as linen lavender pillows, jewelry, stamped vintage flatware, artwork, candles, reed diffusers, soap, barnwood signs......this is the place if you're looking for that something special.

Also, the Village of Greenport is hosting a great shopping event!

Here is a link to the event on Facebook.

Another shop I have been working with for quite a while is:

They have just opened in their new location at 903 Main Street, Pt Jefferson Village.

You can find Lori's picks for beautiful gifts and home decor including bedding and Dash and Albert rugs. A true lifestyle boutique.

Here are some of our favorites from Lori's shop.

Such great gifts!

For the locals, Pt. Jefferson Village is having a really fun Holiday Event this weekend.
The 17th annual Dickens Festival, November 30th, December 1st and 2nd 2012, an annual Village celebration of the author of A Christmas Carol, features costumed characters, decorated streets and shops, Victorian entertainment and food.

More info HERE.

If you're not local you can visit Lavender Fields online HERE.
And keep up with the latest news on their Facebook Page HERE.


Finally, I just started doing some window displays and bringing in some of my painted furniture pieces and other home accessories and gifts to a really beautiful flower shop located next to Theater Three in Pt. Jefferson Village at 408 Main Street.  They are expanding their line of home decor and gift items. 

I added some holiday touches to the shop yesterday just in time for the Dickens Festival. Kathy and her staff were busy creating some amazing holiday floral arrangements for their customers.

You can also find them online HERE.

Photos of the shop coming soon!


That's it for my news update for now! I need to get back to working on my orders. And speaking of orders. Please keep in mind - most of our items need 7-10 days for production (with a few exceptions) and we are shipping from NY. I know there are a lot of last minute shoppers (like myself) and we will do our best to accommodate you! 

Dresser Makeover - Old White with a touch of Coco

Loving this Annie Sloan chalk paint combo, Old White and Coco. Wish I had a place to keep this one.  

The mirror with those little drawers are my favorite part.

New "Antique" Bronze hardware.

You can find her for sale at Lavender Fields in Pt. Jefferson, NY. She's in the front window on display.

Remember her before?

(Thank you Susan!!)

Shop news...

These gorgeous new ribbons came in today.

Country French Floral on Blue Linen

I'm like a kid ripping the boxes open!

Vintage French Floral Linen

You see I have a ribbon addiction, always have. That is why I had to start selling my inventory.

French Script in Grey on Linen

I couldn't possibly use all of the ribbons I have bought over the years.  But I have found that many of you (all over the world) love ribbon too and the selection in your local craft stores are just not that great.

So, I get to buy more ribbon!
